I am an absolute Angry Birds fan, I am. Ever since I got acquainted with this bunch of furious birds bent on smashing their piggy enemies, there was no turning back. I was bent on perfecting my slingshots - I practised day and night. I've got them downloaded in my iPhone and iPads and it drove my family members nuts as I repeated my efforts constantly, trying to score 3 stars for every game! I've played them all... Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio... and I await with bated … [Read more...]

Nerovivo – Special Christmas Offerings
I swear, every year, preparations for the Christmas spirit and cheer start earlier and earlier. Why - the malls here had already started playing Christmas songs and carols almost 3 weeks ago and they are all decked out with bright Yuletide decorations! Well, I'm not complaining... this is my favourite time of the year and I'm sure many of you think so too. There's nothing like Christmas (although it does get overly commercialized here sometimes) to bring on the smiles and lighten up the mood … [Read more...]
Kechara Oasis @ Jaya One, Petaling Jaya
I don't get to eat vegetarian food as much as I would like. Well, that's because most times when I dine with family and even friends, vegetarian cuisine doesn't seem to be at the top of their list. I like vegetarian dishes. So, it's a rare occasion that I can gather a few friends who would ALL want to go for a vegetarian meal. One of those rare occasions was when I met up with a couple of ex-colleagues, not too long ago, who happen to be fans of vegetarian food and so... hooray, that's how I … [Read more...]
Aman Rimba – a secret haven in Janda Baik
If a picture can paint a thousand words, there will not be enough to describe the serene beauty that encompasses Aman Rimba. So, I won't try too hard to do that. This will, essentially be a photo-heavy post, while I try to do justice to the place with my limited vocabulary in describing this lush and lovely haven, tucked away in a rustic kampung, accessed by a long, narrow and winding road. It is a bit hard to believe that this piece of paradise lies just barely an hour away from the … [Read more...]
“Flavours of Chile” – a taste of Chilean cuisine
I confess - I don't really know much about Chile. Do you? I mean, apart from knowing it's in South America and that Chilean wines are pretty good, I can't say I know much else. Shameful, yes. So, when I received an invitation to "Flavours of Chile" hosted by the Chilean Export Promotion Bureau (ProChile) and the Embassy of Chile, I immediately accepted without hesitation. Here was an excellent opportunity for me to sample some fine Chilean cuisine. Held at The Westin Kuala Lumpur, this event … [Read more...]
Dubrovnik – a taste of Croatia in Mont Kiara
Dubrovnik Restaurant, in the heart of Mont Kiara is just about the only Croatian restaurant in Malaysia. Owned and helmed by Chef Zoran Djumic, the main concept of this restaurant is to stick to the traditional way of European/Croatian cooking without compromise on quality. Offering authentic European Mediterranean dishes, Dubrovnik uses traditional recipes from Spain, France, Greece, Italy and Croatia, of course. The name "Dubrovnik" is actually a city located in the southern side of … [Read more...]
Kelantan Delights @ Wisma Consplant, Subang Jaya
Since my previous visits to Kelantan Delights - both of which were for their scrumptious Ramadhan Buffet - read about it here, I had been itching to go back there to try their regular fares. Recently, I had that opportunity to do so. Kelantanese cuisine has certain Thai influences as the northern part of the state shares a border with southern Thailand. So, it isn't surprising that a platter of Sireh Daun Kadok (RM21.50) is one of Kelantan Delights' special appetizer. Very much like the Thai … [Read more...]
